NAME
PDLASE2 - initialize an M-by-N distributed matrix sub( A ) denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1)
to BETA on the diagonal and ALPHA on the offdiagonals
SYNOPSIS
SUBROUTINE PDLASE2( UPLO, M, N, ALPHA, BETA, A, IA, JA, DESCA )
CHARACTER UPLO
INTEGER IA, JA, M, N
DOUBLE PRECISION ALPHA, BETA
INTEGER DESCA( * )
DOUBLE PRECISION A( * )
PURPOSE
PDLASE2 initializes an M-by-N distributed matrix sub( A ) denoting A(IA:IA+M-1,JA:JA+N-1)
to BETA on the diagonal and ALPHA on the offdiagonals. PDLASE2 requires that only
dimension of the matrix operand is distributed.
Notes
=====
Each global data object is described by an associated description vector. This vector
stores the information required to establish the mapping between an object element and its
corresponding process and memory location.
Let A be a generic term for any 2D block cyclicly distributed array. Such a global array
has an associated description vector DESCA. In the following comments, the character _
should be read as "of the global array".
NOTATION STORED IN EXPLANATION
--------------- -------------- -------------------------------------- DTYPE_A(global)
DESCA( DTYPE_ )The descriptor type. In this case,
DTYPE_A = 1.
CTXT_A (global) DESCA( CTXT_ ) The BLACS context handle, indicating
the BLACS process grid A is distribu-
ted over. The context itself is glo-
bal, but the handle (the integer
value) may vary.
M_A (global) DESCA( M_ ) The number of rows in the global
array A.
N_A (global) DESCA( N_ ) The number of columns in the global
array A.
MB_A (global) DESCA( MB_ ) The blocking factor used to distribute
the rows of the array.
NB_A (global) DESCA( NB_ ) The blocking factor used to distribute
the columns of the array.
RSRC_A (global) DESCA( RSRC_ ) The process row over which the first
row of the array A is distributed. CSRC_A (global) DESCA(
CSRC_ ) The process column over which the
first column of the array A is
distributed.
LLD_A (local) DESCA( LLD_ ) The leading dimension of the local
array. LLD_A >= MAX(1,LOCr(M_A)).
Let K be the number of rows or columns of a distributed matrix, and assume that its
process grid has dimension p x q.
LOCr( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K were
distributed over the p processes of its process column.
Similarly, LOCc( K ) denotes the number of elements of K that a process would receive if K
were distributed over the q processes of its process row.
The values of LOCr() and LOCc() may be determined via a call to the ScaLAPACK tool
function, NUMROC:
LOCr( M ) = NUMROC( M, MB_A, MYROW, RSRC_A, NPROW ),
LOCc( N ) = NUMROC( N, NB_A, MYCOL, CSRC_A, NPCOL ). An upper bound for these
quantities may be computed by:
LOCr( M ) <= ceil( ceil(M/MB_A)/NPROW )*MB_A
LOCc( N ) <= ceil( ceil(N/NB_A)/NPCOL )*NB_A
ARGUMENTS
UPLO (global input) CHARACTER
Specifies the part of the distributed matrix sub( A ) to be set:
= 'U': Upper triangular part is set; the strictly lower triangular part of
sub( A ) is not changed; = 'L': Lower triangular part is set; the strictly
upper triangular part of sub( A ) is not changed; Otherwise: All of the matrix
sub( A ) is set.
M (global input) INTEGER
The number of rows to be operated on i.e the number of rows of the distributed
submatrix sub( A ). M >= 0.
N (global input) INTEGER
The number of columns to be operated on i.e the number of columns of the
distributed submatrix sub( A ). N >= 0.
ALPHA (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION
The constant to which the offdiagonal elements are to be set.
BETA (global input) DOUBLE PRECISION
The constant to which the diagonal elements are to be set.
A (local output) DOUBLE PRECISION pointer into the local memory
to an array of dimension (LLD_A,LOCc(JA+N-1)). This array contains the local
pieces of the distributed matrix sub( A ) to be set. On exit, the leading M-by-N
submatrix sub( A ) is set as follows:
if UPLO = 'U', A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1) = ALPHA, 1<=i<=j-1, 1<=j<=N, if UPLO = 'L',
A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1) = ALPHA, j+1<=i<=M, 1<=j<=N, otherwise, A(IA+i-1,JA+j-1) =
ALPHA, 1<=i<=M, 1<=j<=N, IA+i.NE.JA+j, and, for all UPLO, A(IA+i-1,JA+i-1) = BETA,
1<=i<=min(M,N).
IA (global input) INTEGER
The row index in the global array A indicating the first row of sub( A ).
JA (global input) INTEGER
The column index in the global array A indicating the first column of sub( A ).
DESCA (global and local input) INTEGER array of dimension DLEN_.
The array descriptor for the distributed matrix A.
